Thanks Chris, shouldn’t happen again!
Loan Embargo
If you let loaned players return for having missed more matches than allowed by contract you will suffer from a temporary loan embargo. The duration of the embargo depends on how many times you let that happen. It will last 15 turns in the first time, 30 turns in the second and 45 turns from the third on. During the embargo you won’t be able to loan players from other teams. The goal of this enhancement is to prevent situations where the same team keeps loaning players without using them.
Currently stamina affects the players ability to recover during the match. The more tired a player harder it will be to recover. In practice, it means those with low stamina tends to become slower earlier in the match.
It is now possible to request loan termination. If the other team agrees the player is returned in the following turn.
The correct calculation is:
Stamina: penalty
100: 0%
99: 0%
98: 0%
97: -1%
96: -1%
95: -1%
94: -2%
…
4: -32%
3: -32%
2: -32%
1: -33%
Beware of your players stamina! Next season the rules will be more strict affecting the overall skills of the players instead of only their recovery after running. Every 3 points below 100 stamina will reduce all skills by 1%.
The away match penalty reduction is still on discussion, so for next season we won’t reduce it for 27-28 years old player yet, we may do that for 29 (-2) and 30 (-1) years old players only. Stay tuned!
This is a known issue, I couldn’t find out how to fix it the first time I saw it…we’ll need to check it again.
Thanks!
Ladies and Gentleman, I give you Peter Strand:

For those who doesn’t know Peter he is the creator of ManagerSim, the football management game that made me and Danilo decide to create RubySoccer. Peter kindly joined RubySoccer to take a look on what we have so far. It’s an honor to have him around! This game would probably not exist if it wasn’t for our addiction to MS.
We’ll that, I agree it’s completely ridiculous :)
I was thinking about punishing managers who do that…if a manager let’s a loaned player exceed the number of matches without playing 3 times we forbid him to loan players for a given period…how does that sound?
This 27-28 upgrade seems like a controversial subject…what about -1 for 30 y.o. and -2 for 29 y.o?
To reduce the impact on the current season we’ll wait until next season to activate an enhancement for the older players rules: -2 away penalty for 27-28 years old players and -1 away penalty for 29-30 years old players.
I’ll implement Alexander’s suggestion next season, -2 penalty for 27-28 years old players and -1 penalty for 29-30.
Waiting for the season start means we’ll have this kind of change every 48 days only :D
I understand your complaints, but old players will still have their skills decreased, it’s just a way to make them valuable for an extended period. And you have a great team, you’ll be able to face this challenge ;)
You need to wait 1 complete season (144 turns) before being able to a recently managed team.
I’m with Dirk on this one, we cannot lower too much the age since the idea is to make older players more interesting and strategic.
It is possible that we return to the original idea of letting managers decide the ticket price, but first we need to develop a good and consistent relation between ticket price and match attendance (considering of course the factors that we already consider like match competition, team quality, league position or cup round, etc).
Press Releases are just informational texts a manager can write and post about their teams like saying his expectations for the next season, talking about his accomplishments, anything he wants. These will probably be available either from the newspaper and from the manager or team page. Interviews should be the next step when it comes to newspaper.
That was an option I thought about when implementing this feature. I decided to use the age cause it would be much more complicated to use number of matches played, because of the way we store this information.
Nice! Sounds right to me :)
I see the formation set in your cup match is “Away” and this is not your default formation…maybe that was it? :)
Just made the announcement clearer…it’s for players with 31 years old or more ;)
Players with 31 years old or more do not receive the -3 penalty on all skills when their team is playing as a visitor. This change was made to represent the experience acquired by older players.
Just did it, players with more than 30 years old won’t be penalized when playing away matches.
No Alexander, we now display formaton status for the 3 next matches to alert you in advance. This is specially useful if your next match is a friendly or for when you have a league match followed by a national cup match for example.
Yeah, the idea is that old player positively influence the youngers. I also like this suggestion of not losing stats by playing away, sounds more interesting and easier to implement.
No worries Tiko, you probably opened your invitations page and the friendlies were withdrawn right after that :)
We’ve not gave up on this idea, working on higher priorities now (match engine, to be more specific).
I understand but the idea of moving the player back to his original team is also to prevent the original team from being weakened by cheaters, that’s why I can’t put him back in the market. I could return you the players if nobody hired them already, as an exception. Whenever you see such strange deals it’s better get suspicious ;)
